July 3, 2006 12:05 PM EDT
Ford Motor (NYSE: F) said June U.S. sales totaled 269,404, down 7 percent. Car sales were up 7 percent, but truck sales were down 14 percent.

The company said higher gas prices are contributing to lower truck sales, particularly in the large SUV and pickup categories. Traditional truck-based SUVs have declined industry-wide for four years in a row, but the decline in large pickups is a relatively recent phenomenon.

Ford's F-Series truck posted June sales of 65,452, down 10 percent compared with a year ago. Explorer sales were off 36 percent in June and Expedition sales were off 46 percent.
